Mon Tues Wed in Miami

So since Jeff needed to attend the industry summit and interact indoors with clients from 7 am till 10 pm Mon through Wed, Douwe and I had the job of making the most of the Fontainebleau resort amenities. Tough stuff. Although Douwe asked each morning if we could stay in the room all day and watch Cat in the Hat or something, once he got out to the pool or beach, he had a blast. We spent most time at the kid's pool, and enjoyed the luxury of poolside food and drink service,
some time at the beach,
one morning at Miami children's museum and rest times for craft/nap/tv in the room.

Douwe also enjoyed meandering through the many passageways leading from pool to pool, and connecting the four towers. He made sure to hit as many elevator buttons as strangers would allow him to and always stopped at the interactive "where am I" resort map screen that would switch views if he touched the section. I think a good vacation for him would be just to visit a local hotel and walk around exploring for a few hours. He's more interested in sliding doors and hallways and elevators and resting spots than sunny Florida weather. We had a good time tagging along with Jeff for this part of the trip, and I thoroughly enjoyed the privilege of warm weather and break from cooking and other routine household chores. It was nice for us that the wedding and conference were on such close dates and locations to each other, the whole trip was a welcome break from our chilly March in Chicago.
